When everybody talks about the current minority government I think everyone (including me) is forgetting how close to a majority that the Conservatives really have. They hold 143 seats in the current parliament, the Liberals hold 77, the NDP hold 36, and the Bloq hold 48, out of a total of 308 seats. That means that currently the Conservatives are only 12 seats short of a majority. The Conservatives have 86% more seats than the Libs. Can the Liberals make up that 86% and overtake the Conservatives? I doubt it.
